Twilight, WV
How exposed is Twilight to wildfire?
Twilight sits at the 95th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 73 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Twilight's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Twilight: 100% of its 73 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Twilight compares
Twilight's risk sits at a similar level relative to West Virginia (97th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (95th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Twilight ranks 1,561 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,194 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 16 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Twilight and the insurance market
At the 95th percentile nationally, Twilight carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Twilight's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
